Congratulations Melanie, this is such an important topic and WHY women choose how they want to control their own birth. You nailed it with the medical system looks at pregnant women as patients not women being in a natural state of pregnancy. I experienced the mindset of the hospital system 37 years ago and seeing that the environment and the attitude of those running the birth area was so scary and all focus was about medical intervention. This allowed much husband and l to seek private midwives eg: 'Robyn Thompson,etc to deliver all our 5 children at home. It was the most amazing experience for everyone. The most powerful thing is for allow women to believe that they have control of their own body and babe and what feels best. Having a baby should be the most natural thing to experience but the medical system is constantly creating Fear to the pregnant or not pregnant women as she is NOT a patient! .
Take away for me is that birth should be a natural event and not a medical industrial complex event. The closer to Paleo Man (or his good wife) that we get the healthier we become.
Yes! 2 home births over here! So thankful for my hombirth midwfe!
